I began my quest by reading blogs about call centers and i stumbled upon one blog that basically told the story of her experience in working for a home based call center. I then checked the company's profile and found out that i need to invest in this biz (up to date computers, gadgets and the like..YIKES!)before i can earn money. This pretty much, turned down my eagerness to work from home.
That is until i found out about Odesk. I was skeptic to try at first, i told myself "If they ask money for registration fee or background fees, i am so out". Fortunately for me, it was free and i managed to make my profile appealing. I still don't have any interviews but i managed to apply for positions i know i could do. I will be blogging what happens when i get my 1st contract. (I will be mum about who the client is and the work itself) Until then, i will be taking more of those skills test they offer and apply to those job postings. I suggest, if you are a mom like me but you want to be around for your kids, consider this kind of job. The pay may not be as high as your call center salary but the mere fact that you get the option of being there with the kids is already considered a bonus.
Crossing my fingers for the 1st hand experience on Odesk.
